By GlobalData“Mols-Linien’s order is a proof of the strong passenger vessel know-how in Finland.”
Capable of carrying 1,500 lane metres of cargo, the vessel will enter service in 2018, with construction planned from next year.
Previously, Deltamarin developed technical outline material for Mols-Linien, for the use of yard tendering.
RMC provides manufacturing and maintenance services for multi-purpose icebreakers, car ferries and naval vessels.
In July, Deltamarin and Elomatic finalised a tri-party engineering contract with MV Werften in Germany to design a Global Class mega passenger ship.
